I think what larry described is inflation. Something that other countries represent to american business is more than just cheap labor. They also represent a complete lack of regulation, low or non-existent taxes, and (supported by our tax law) banks to put money tax free out of the reach of uncle sam. <br /> <br />But, this discussion is about the UP which like it or not is stuck right here in the U.S.A.. Maybe somewhere along the line, all of the "investments" designed to help employees (poeple) in the long run became "expenses" instead. I am always hearing how in europe business may be more tangled but run with an outlook of generations instead of quarters or years. <br /> <br />Maybe, because technology in the last hundred years has advanced so far so quickly, that as a society, we are constantly playing catchup, forcing us to become a culture of the short term. The guy out there pushing iron today is the same guy as a hundred years ago, the iron just lookes a little bit different. Since the time of cave men the basic problems of life have not changed.
